Cress ...
What happens to cress (I assume this is land cress - the stuff you get in
packs for kiddies, or adults who love it like me, to grow) if you plant it on kitchen towels and leave it, without cutting it to eat ? I ask because I have a soil pot that I am considering putting cress / mustard mix in, for the kitchen windowsill all year round. However, the soil pot isn't one I can drag up and start again with if it goes wrong so I can't really try it and see without some idea of how it will grow (a family pet is buried inside, only a small one so don't freak out !) Will cress and or mustard just keep growing and evenutally go to seed - and if so, what does it look like - tall, short, bushy, can you eat all of it ? I've always planted it on wet tissue and cut it about ten days later but sooner or later they gotta seed, right ? I always do this with my little companion animals, btw (have been for the last ten years) - they make herbs grow great and this way the little sweeties don't get dug up by foxes and they remain beautiful even after they die (yes, I am sentimental and I love my animals). I've just not done cress in this way before. Any ideas ? Rachael |
